Q: Who is Loki?
Loki is my cat! He turned three years old this year! He's an absolute shit and a menace to society, which is why you'll probably hear us talk bad about him on stream a lot. But we love him lots, regardless of his life choices!
Q: What games do you play?
I stream variety because I feel like it helps me interact with you all the most! My page mostly centers around my love for retro games, sandbox games, platformers and simulation games. Recently, I started to implement a big focus on Sonic content in my streams.Sonic the Hedgehog on the SEGA Genesis was my first game. I was playing Sonic games before grade school and he's been my favorite ever since! The Sonic franchise also played a huge part in the inspiration for my fursona and channel design. ♡
Q: What are your digital art tools?
I use an iPad pro 11.5 inch, an Apple Pencil and the Procreate app! Also lots of coffee, determination and over two decades of continuous dedication, research and practice.
Q: How long have you been drawing? What is your art experience?
Very generic answer, but I've been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil. I have roughly 22+ years of art experience under my belt.Before I got my first art tablet, I drew with a mouse in MS Paint. That was "technically" my first digital art experience. I got my first art tablet when I was around 15-16 years old. It was a Wacom Bamboo tablet that cost me about $50. I used SAI and Sketchbook with it.I have about 5+ years of experience with Procreate on the iPad. I also have a small amount of experience with making GIFs and animating in Procreate.My current art goals are to learn to animate better and to make sustainable income off of commissions and a shop. I want to make my own prints and sell things like shirts, stickers, coffee cups and more! I also hope to soon start working on the production of my own comic or game!
Q: What Procreate brushes do you use?
For sketching: I ALWAYS use Jingsketch brushes or the marker brush found in Olguioo's pack! Olguioo's pack is free, but you have to pay for Jingsketch brushes! Yes, they're worth it!For coloring: The lasso/freeform select tool is my biggest helper here. Other than that, I swap between airbrushes and a perfect outline brush.For shading and details: I mostly use airbrushes and halftones to get those crunchy comic-esque details. You can find LOTS of halftone/comic detailing brushes on Gumroad! Here's some examples to get you started!Notes:
If you want specific details on a certain brush, just ask me. You can find tons of free brushes online, or on Gumroad. You can also purchase Procreate brushes off of Gumroad and support other artists! Gumroad is a great resource for downloading/purchasing various types of brushes from other resourceful creators.Always thoroughly check that your sources are reliable before downloading or purchasing! Make sure your sources are trustworthy!
Q: Can you draw me (___)?
No. I do not draw anyone anything for free anymore. Exceptions are not made for friends. I have been haggled with and cheated out of money for commissions before. So please don't ask me for free art. It's poor social etiquette and incredibly annoying.If we are friends/mutuals: you can message me about potential trades at any time, but please keep in mind that I have priority que and I may deny your proposal.My links are at the top of this page!
Q: May I commission you? Are your commissions open?
If you're interested in a commission, please check this link here. It has all the information you need to know about commissioning me. Whether or not I'm open for commissions will be highlighted in green/red at the top of the page.My websites are also linked at the top of this page! Thank you!
Q: What is a "spoonie?" What is "Spoon Theory" and why do you use it?
As sited by Google: A chronic condition is a health condition or disease that is persistent or otherwise long-lasting in its effects or a disease that comes with time. The term chronic is often applied when the course of the disease lasts for more than three months.In short, spoon theory can be used to summarize how much expendable energy a chronically ill person has for their everyday tasks. This can include things such as, but is not limited to: showering, exercising, brushing your hair, folding laundry, making a meal, vacuuming, sweeping, doing dishes, making the bed, studying, socializing, running errands, etc.I have lupus and fibromyalgia, among other things. As such, I often struggle on a daily basis with severe chronic pain, chronic migraines and fatigue. There are good days and bad. But this is why we use Spoon Theory!You can read more about Spoon Theory here. Or type !spoonie in my chat when I'm live. ♡
